Joseph (Andreas Konstantinou), the protagonist and connecting link in the 12 standalone stories of the series, is a Greek-British introverted archaeologist who plans to propose to his partner and has scheduled a trip to his homeland, Crete. When she doesn't show up at the airport on the day of departure, Joseph returns to his ancestral land to take up a consulting position on an excavation and embarks on a solitary journey on the island, a dynamic journey into his inner world. Disheartened, he starts sending postcards to his ex-partner's home in London, recounting stories he hears or experiences in Crete. However, he doesn't know that the new tenant of the house, Ellie, develops feelings for the mysterious man... Can the deep thoughts of a stranger on paper make him lovable?
